Two Central sixth graders came to school Monday and wanted to do something to honor the students and teachers killed in Friday's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and show support for those who survived and their community.

"The idea to make ribbons came from two sixth grade students, Lilly Debord and Lindsay Edwards, and has spread to the entire school," Principal Jason Anderson said.

Wednesday (today) Central students and staff are wearing green and white ribbons — Sandy Hook's school colors — made by the students to show their support.

Also, the students are going to make extra ribbons that can be purchased at Central School. The money that is raised will be donated to a fund set up for Sandy Hook Elementary.

The ribbons will be available for a donation at Central School Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

"I am really proud of our students," said Anderson. "We have a school full of caring students that put their own lives on hold to help out the students and families of Newtown."
